This is the second blog I follow that happened to post about infertility. I have recently been told I have fertility issues and it is slightly helpful to know and hear other women's stories. Thanks for the post. Cheers to baby making!

I am so sorry you are getting frustrated witb your doctor. I hope you get everything worked out. I know it can be frustrating, but a lot of people say when they stop stressing about it, and don't put so much pressure on it, that it seems to happen. good luck :)

Pete and I are avoiding kids like the plague right now, so I haven't ever gone through any fertility issues. I'm terrified that I will though, since my body likes to throw me a curve ball at every turn.

BUT I can still relate to being completely frustrated with the medical field. I ran into some health issues, starting about a year and a half ago and it was awful. Just trying to get the specialists to listen to me was a nightmare. Also, there are tons of girly issues that we just know nothing about--I think women's health has been severely under-researched. I've been left with very little faith in doctors and medications. I really hope you start getting some answers. Maybe seek out a second opinion? Couldn't hurt!

That last pic you look sooo skinny! You look skinny most the time but very very skinny in those jeans! Good luck with all the testing it took us over a year ot testing and trying for Aubrey and my last two pregnancies were surprises

I feel your pain with the whole infertility issue... I have something called PCOS, Polycystic ovary syndrome, and it SUCKS!!! It seems like the doctors just like to take their time doing their stupid tests and I've been waiting long enough, I don't want to wait any longer... I just want a baby already! I wish there was a magic pill you could take and it would make you ovulate instantly, you know? Just something that would make getting preggers much easier. I girl can dream, right?

I am in the dfw area too and struggled for a long time with infertility until I was finally diagnosed with "unexplainable infertility" - awesome. Anyway, I used Dr. Goldstein and did 3 rounds of IVF before finaly getting pregnant with twins, who are perfectly and healthy 22 month old toddlers now. I have had several friends and family that have also dealt with fertility issues too (I think that this increase in issues is because of our food and hormones, etc. but that's a whole nother story), anyways, I would not use Dr. G again, but would highly recommend Dr. Douglass if you decide to seek out a reproductive endocronologist. Hopefully all is good and you won't need to go that route, but I just thought I'd put it out there in case you were interested.

I'm so sorry for all the crap you're going through Megan. Have you thought about seeing another doctor? Maybe the one you go to isn't that knowledgable about fertility issues. You could even try an infertility specialist. I'm like you and would be super impatient to get things going, which is why I think a second opinion might be in order. Just my 2 cents!

I can understand the impatience (sp?) we are trying for another baby and it is driving me nuts. The two week wait is miserable! I am sorry you are going through this. So since you were laying an egg did you run home and have sex?

Oh gosh, I'm so sorry. It's so frustrating when drs. get into the mode and don't explain things well enough! I'm praying for a great outcome! In the meantime shop away. :-) totally get the pants things... I'm 5'3"!

yea drs and patients dont seem to have the same time table do they!? lol. my dr put me on clomid, i asked about ultra sounds and the nurse said "he has so many patients on clomid he cant monitor them all by sonogram!" ummmmmmmmm ok? i just took my blood work yesterday. i used those ovulation predictor kits that give you a smiley face. my cycles were 33 days and round 3 of clomid put me at 30 days. so we will see! i dont want to take clomid more than 1 possibly 2 more times. its harsh stuff!

ive also found that male drs are a little more sympathetic and willing to do more of what you ask. thats just my opinion though lol
